Unique Themes for Bridesmaid Dresses

When planning the theme of your wedding, you need to have a clear
idea of the big picture in your head - and not just about your own
bridal gown, the décor and the venue. The bridesmaid dresses also need
to be well thought out and considered, and their style must contribute
to the coherent flow of the entire event.
However, some brides
think that choosing the outfits for their entourage doesn't need to be
such a big deal - after all, all eyes will be on the bride, right? On
the contrary; choosing a theme for the entire party not only adds to the
mood of the event, but it also ties all the elements together
perfectly. It can also make for a very interesting and memorable photo
shoot! Check out the following themes that could work for different
wedding motifs.

Ombre Dresses

Ombre is a
very trendy concept nowadays - but it normally applies to hair colour
rather than bridesmaid dresses! However, it's a great way to get
creative with your wedding party theme. Don't be afraid to consider a
seemingly over-the-top idea like this, because you can always opt to
tone it down a little. For instance, instead of making your attendants
wear a dress with such a striking gradient colour effect, you could opt
for each girl to wear a different shade of hue that corresponds to your
overall decor instead. Carefully chosen styles in complementary colours
will create a lovely, muted ombre effect, especially in photos, and will
allow the bride to stand out in flawless and immaculate white. The
ombre effect also looks great for the procession down the aisle. But
apart from the aesthetic benefit, this kind of theme will also provide
you with more options when picking out a colour for the party.

Vintage
will never go out of style and it's never a bad idea as a wedding
theme! There are multiple benefits to choosing vintage for your
bridesmaid dresses. For starters, you can easily scout for authentic
vintage finds in thrift shops as a cheaper alternative, and you don't
have to worry about everyone wearing the same style as long as they
stick to the theme. Furthermore, there is an appeal in having your
attendants wear dresses belonging to a specific era; it creates a more
relaxed ambience, while still maintaining the coherence of your wedding
theme.

Rocking 50s Dresses

Another great
not quite so vintage theme for bridesmaid dresses is the Rocking 50s.
Since vintage themes usually provide you with plenty of options and room
for creativity, they will always be a great option for any modern
bride. For your bridal gown you could go full-on 50s style, in a retro
dress with a tight bodice and a full skirt, pearls for accessories, and
satin heels. Meanwhile, your attendants could wear cute dresses with net
petticoats for a dainty and elegant look. This style looks particularly
amazing for the walk down the aisle.
